Best PPW match

 

Metallics are hard to match perfectly, but ANY shop should be able to mix the correct color just by paint code. I would take it back and make them re-shoot it.
You are not a custom color, are you?

 

hey sorry guys i was lookin @ it yesterdy and the lighting was making it look like crap.. i took it out into a sunny parking lot today and it looks pretty damn close so.. sorry for another useless thread, i usually slam these myself haha but thx for ur responces and for future help

 

Good luck, I had my whole car repainted because the hood, wing, side skirt and the mainbody din't match.

 

my oem stock ppw bumpers didnt match the fenders coming from the dealer, painting on different types of material comes out with different results.

 

Thats the truest statement I've heard to date.

 

+1. Get it done right the first time around.

 

Ditto.

 

Just stay away from M1.

 

I always recommend my guy Makito @ Seven Apple. 310-972-8529

 

+1000000000. This guy really knows his stuff and works hard to get it done quickly for you and really reasonable.

 

This is true with most cars of any color (except black I guess)

Just make sure the shop blends in the paint. you'll be happy if they do, pissed off if they don't.
